Abstract
SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) can provide 2-8x speedups for data-parallel workloads. This talk covers:
- When SIMD helps (and when it doesn't)
- Using
std::archfor target-specific intrinsics - Portable SIMD with
std::simd - Benchmarking and measuring real-world gains
Code Examples
All code examples from this talk are available in the simd-examples repository.
